Subject: bug#69715: RFE: Order of package-selected-packages should be persistent/predictable
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2024 20:49:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bk7lu816.fsf@vagabond.tim-landscheidt.de> (raw)

Severity: wishlist

Currently, the order of the elements of
package-selected-packages is depending on when which package
command was executed.  If one tracks ~/.emacs in a version-
ing system, additions/removals of a single package can
therefore be hard to decipher.

It would be nice if the order was persistent/predictable.
Sorting the elements lexicographically (string<) by their
symbols' names would be sufficient.
